A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE ORIGIN", CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, 



AND TUB DIFFERENT FORMS, 



ALSO, THE PROPER TREATMENT OF THE 



INTERMITTENT FEVER, 




TOGETHER "WITH THE DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE

A CHEAP, SAFE AND PERMANENT CUKE, AND PREVENTIVE, AGAINST THE 
VARIOUS FORMS OF BILIOUS AND INTERMITTENT FEVERS. 



The Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, is a disease 
which has long been known in this country, and its disas- 
trous consequences are familiar to almost every individual- 
Still, there are not a few who are ignorant of its origin and 
its causes. Concerning the former there is at present a diver- 
sity of opinion, but relying upon the experience of our most 
talented writers who have treated upon the subject, we find 
that it does not, as is supposed by many, arise solely from 
the malaria exhaled from marshy and wet land, where vege- 
table matter is undergoing decomposition, but can arise from 
colds, debility, and derangement of the bowels ; for, says 
Dr. Hosack, " I have met with it in New-York at all season? 
of the year." It may, also, be occasioned by a poor^waterc,

diet, lying upon the damp ground, living in damp houses, 
exposure to the evening dews, fatigue, and depressions of the 
mind. 

It is a fact well-known, and the circumstance noticed by 
medical men, that it is not until the heat of the sun acts 
upon the decomposed matter which has accumulated in the 
low lands, that the disease rages in the greatest degree. Dr. 
Williamson, of Xorth Carolina, has observed, that the 
swamps there were remarkably healthy before the sun had 
access to the surface of the earth ; but after the process of 
clearing and draining, the sun then caused the most deadly 
vapors to arise, spreading around fevers in their most malig- 
nant forms. Persons, therefore, exposed to these predis- 
posing causes, should, in order to prevent an attack of the 
disease, resort to this medicine, which we shall endeavor to 
convince all who may peruse this treatise will prove an 
effectual preventive, if used as directed. 

The liability of the system becoming more disordered in 
the summer and fall, caused by the changes of the weather 
and atmosphere, and the deadly vapors arising from the de- 
composition of animal and vegetable matter, generated by 
the excessive heat of the sun in the summer, is the reason 
assigned why the autumnal intermittens are of longer dura- 
tion than those of the spring. It will, therefore, be seen that 
all depends upon the diseased state of the system at the time 
of the attack, and the greater the derangement the more 
severe will be the disease. Dr. Beach, in his celebrated 
work, under the head of Fever and Ague, remarks, "that 
the effluvia from marshy lands may be wafted by currents of 
air to a distance far exceeding what has been supposed or

admitted upon the subject; and where inhabitants from a 
high country remove to a low one, they are much sooner 
seized with the Fever and Ague, and to such the disease is 
most apt to prove fatal," which, as has been observed, can be 
remedied by using, previous to and at the time of such 
change, this medicine as a preventive to such attacks, which 
will have the desired effect, if taken as described in the 
accompanying directions. 

As it is generally acknowledged that intermittents, for the 
most part, have marsh miasma for their remote cause, we 
cannot be surprised that they should be protracted to almost 
an indefinite period, so long as the patient continues to have 
these causes operating in him ; therefore many are doomed 
to be victims to the distressing disease for many months, 
notwithstanding all the modern remedies may be resorted to, 
and in many cases it becomes a chronic affection, and patients 
frequently drag out a miserable existence, until some fortu- 
nate medicine breaks the spell and restores them to health. 

It is a desideratum of great magnitude to find a remedy 
which will destroy and break up the disease which gives rise 
to those repeated and long protracted paroxysms. Quinine 
and Arsenic are more often used for this purpose, but the 
serious injury to health that often follows their use has in- 
duced many physicians to discard them from their practice ; 
for by their use the chance is small of a cure, till frost has 
destroyed the miasma that gave rise to the complaint ; and 
by the time spring returns, the patient is but barely relieved 
from the effects of the autumnal intermittents, and before 
the constitution has recovered the previous shock, is again 
visited with the ague, and being weakened by former india 







THE SOUTH AMERICAN 



positions, the same causes continue to operate with greater 
force, while the Quinine and Arsenic have in a great measure 
lost their power, the disease can no longer be held in check, 
and consequently the patient is subject to it for the greater 
part of the year. Wonderful emaciations and unmanage- 
able dropsies ofttimes succeed it, and he crawls along a 
living spectre until he is relieved by the hand of death. 

This is but too frequently the lamentable progress and ter- 
mination of intermittents in certain sections of this country, 
and to arrest them and keep them at bay is of the utmost 
importance. The obstinacy of the disease can be subdued, if 
proper and efficient means be employed at the commence- 
ment of the attack. By efficient means, is to be understood 
the thorough use of this medicine, as stated fully in another 
part of this treatise. 



SYMPTOMS AND FOEMS. 

We shall now endeavor to give a brief and comprehensive 
account of the symptoms and the different forms the Fever 
and Ague assumes, and throw such light upon the conse- 
quences which follow after the disease, if not timely and suc- 
cessfully treated, as will carry conviction to all that " delays 
are dangerous." 

As a general rule we find that the first symptoms of the 
Fever and Ague commence with a manifested desire of 
yawning, stretching, and general uneasiness, weariness of the 
limbs, coldness of the extremities, and sometimes sickness 
and vomiting, which is soon followed with a slight chill or 



FEVER AND AGUE REMEDY. 



7 



shivering, and ends in a convulsive shaking of the whole 
body, which is classed under the head of the " cold stage" 
and is almost invariably succeeded by the " hot fit ;" the skin 
becomes hot, the pulse quick and hard, the thirst great, acute 
pains attack the head, tongue white, and all the symptoms 
of a high fever, and terminates in a profuse sweat. Sometimes 
•in this stage there is more or less delirium, the patient is 
left in a weakened state, the heat of the body subsides, the 
pulse becomes less frequent, and the respiration more free ; 
the weakness increases in each succeeding paroxysm, usually 
but one in every twenty-four hours. Another form is when 
the paroxysms return in every forty-eight hours ; and still 
another, when it returns in every seventy-two hours. Anciens 
writers, treating upon the subject, go so far as to admit that 
the paroxysms have been known to return at intervals of from 
eight to fifteen days ; but such cases are so very uncommon, 
that the medical faculty have, as a rule, classed the Fever 
and Ague under three forms only — the first called Quotidi- 
ans, when the paroxysms occur every twenty-four hours, 
usually coming on in the morning, and lasting sixteen hours. 
Second, Tertians, occurring every forty-eight hours, coming 
on at noon, and lasting ten hours. Third, Quartans, occur- 
ring every seventy-two hours, coming on in the afternoon, 
and lasting eight hours, generally but one paroxysm on the 
day of the attack. 

It is almost of daily occurrence that the Fever and Ague 
is neglected in its first stage, and allowed to prey so long 
upon the body, that the system gets so far reduced that the 
Bilious, Typhus, and Remittent Fevers soon follow, which 
bring diseases requiring more severe treatment than the In- 



8 



THE SOUTH AMERICAN 



termittent. The natural consequences are that few seldom 
recover from their effects ; and should they be fortunate enough 
to recover, their strength would be so much reduced that it 
would require months to restore it — all of which can be pre- 
vented by bestowing that attention to the first symptoms 
which have been described, and resorting to the South Amer- 
ican Fever and Ague Remedy, which is placed within the 
reach of nearly every individual. 



PROPER TREATMENT. 

We have endeavored to be as brief as possible in giving 
that information which can be comprehended by all, concern- 
ing the origin, causes, symptoms, forms, and the effects of 
the Fever and Ague. Our next duty will be to give the neces- 
sary information as regards the proper treatment of the dis- 
ease ; and in doing so, we shall advert to the dangerous prac- 
tice and erroneous views entertained by many persons (and 
not a few of our medical men), of administering Arsenic and 
other metallic and mineral poisons ; and the evidence which 
will be shown to substantiate these opinions will be such as 
to defy contradiction. Notwithstanding Arsenic has been 
the principal weapon for many medical men to battle the 
Fever and Ague, yet it has, like Quinine, fallen far short of 
what was expected, and its baneful effects can be spoken of 
by many who have been seriously injured by its use. Nothing 
more than temporary relief can be assured by administering 
it, and there is not to be found a case where a permanent 
cure has been effected. Without further comment, we quote 



FEVER AND - UE REMEDY. 



9 



the opinion of the late Dr. lJavid Hosack, who says : — " I 
cannot recommend it ; it is a very dangerous remedy, and 
often leaves consequences far more formidable than any 
ague — a liability to rheumatism, violent headaches, wonderful 
emaciations, and not ^infrequently unmanageable dropsies, are 
the sad consequences of its use ; and, indeed, for months and 
years patients who have taken it suffer serious injury to 
health." "Why thus be deceived, when its pernicious conse- 
quences are thus spoken of by one admitted to be by all one 
of the most talented men in the medical profession ? 

But in treating this disease, we should be governed more 
by common sense, cause and effect, and the experience of 
scientific men, than by the deceptions used by quacks, whose 
medicines are ofttimes sought after by the manufactured re 
commendations, placed before the public in glowing colors, 
of their universal property in healing all diseases. We neeft 
only to refer to the greatly increased bills of mortality since 
their general introduction. It is with no intention to place 
the conduct and medicines of those professing to have the 
key to all diseases in a contemptible light, or to underrate 
their intentions ; for as numerous as they are, many may be 
induced to place this remedy in the same class. We will 
abide their decision, when its merits are impartially tested ; 
and to those particularly who have been deceived by pre- 
tenders, we say, try this medicine and witness its operation. 

In the treatment of the Fever and Ague, there are some 
precautions which should be observed by those who have, 
or may be exposed to it. The first is the subject of clothing, 
especially on sudden changes of the weather, as from hot to 
cold, and from wet to dry ; to ward off the disease, or pre- 



10 



THE SOUTH AMERICAN 



vent a return, should never be without flannel next the skin ; 
and this should be frequently changed, especially by those 
who perspire freely. Much depends upon an attention to 
this point, yet nothing, probably, is more neglected. 

Another precaution should be taken by invalids, (and will 
apply equally as well to others.) which is nev er to go out in the 
the morning without having previously taken food ; and it 
might not be amiss here to suggest the impropriety of taking 
any liquor before breakfast, with a view of ' ; sharpening the 
appetite if any have indulged in the practice, the sooner 
it is discontinued the better, for when stimuli of any kind 
has been long continued, the system is liable to lose its sus- 
ceptibility to medicine, and it is of the greatest importance 
that the practice should be stopped. 

The too often failure of the different remedies for the Fever 
and Ague can be attributed to the imperfect knowledge of 
the manufacturer, in not being sufficiently acquainted with 
the different properties of the articles commonly used for the 
disease. X early all the articles which enter into the compo- 
sition of the South American Fever and Ague Remedy are in 
themselves, singly, useful remedies for the disease in certain 
stages, but no one alone could perfect a cure : but when the 
whole are judiciously combined they afford an efficacious 
and pleasant remedy and preventive. It will readily be seen 
that the value of a remedy for Fever and Ague, of the nature 
of that now offered, will at once be obvious, and must shortly 
supersede the numerous and doubtful compositions now be- 
fore the public. It is likewise a pleasure in being able to 
assure those who may feel disposed to make a trial of this 
remedy, th at they can do so with the most implicit reliance upon 



Fr.VER AND AGUE REMEDY.

its not interfering with either business or pleasure ; nor need 
any alarm be felt concerning any injurious effects by resort- 
ing to it, as it is entirely free from Arsenic, Calomel, or any 
mineral or metallic poisons. 

In using this medicine persons should not despair if a cure 
was not perfected after the first bottle ; but in ail cases it will 
be seen that the paroxysms grow less severe every time of 
their return while using it. It not unfrequently happens that 
persons will not resort to what is called "patent medicines" 
till the complaint is pronounced incurable by physicians ; and 
great injustice is ofttimes shown to medicines of great worth, 
solely on account of their not effecting an immediate and 
permanent cure, when other favorite remedies have failed, 
and physicians acknowledge themselves defeated. It is, 
therefore, recommended to those whose condition is as thus 
stated, to persevere in the use of this remedy, for, when taken 
in accordance with the directions, there is no medicine extant 
which will perfect a cure more effectually than the South 
American Fever and Ague Remedy. As a proof of the gen- 
uineness of the article, the facsimile of the signature of 
the proprietor will be over the cork of each bottle. 



DIRECTIONS FOR USING 
LEONARD'S 

SOUTH AMERICAN FEVER AI\ T D AGUE 



REMEDY. 



This medicine should be taken at regular periods and in- 
tervals, on an empty stomach, in doses according to the age 
and constitution of the patient, and the violence of the attack. 
To those who are afflicted with the disease, it is recommended 
that they take, for an adult, a teaspoonful three to six 
times a day, commencing on the day following an attack, 
and the same dose to be continued on those days between 
the paroxysms, till the disease yields, when the use of the 
medicine should be continued, but at longer intervals, and 
in less doses, from day to day, until the usual state of health 
and strength of the patient is restored ; for it must be re- 
membered that the interruption of the paroxysms is by no 
means an indication of a cure, but only the commencement, 
and the use of the medicine must be persevered in till ail 
the symptoms of the disease are eradicated ; and when such 
is the case, the use of the medicine as prescribed for " Con- 
valescents, Travelers and Emigrants,'' is necessary to prevent 
a re-attack of the disease — as persons recovering from the 
complaint are more susceptible to the causes which produce 
it than those who have been exempt from it. 

X 

Children of ten years may take half a teaspoonful ; and 
from one to two years of age, ten drops, — the same rule to 
be observed in administering it to children, and the same 
gradual diminution of the dose, after the disease is broken

up, as is required by adults. To render it palatable for 
children or others, it may be combined with molasses, or 
sugar and water. It must be borne in mind that this 
remedy must be well shaken before using. 

If the bowels are constipated or irregular, during an attack, 
an occasional dose of Blue Pills or brisk cathartic should be 
administered ; and at the time when the patient has fever, the 
body can be bathed, with good effect, in water not too cold, 
with saleratus dissolved in the proportion of half an ounce to 
the quart. 

When it is desired to interrupt the paroxysms, and prevent 
the return of the chill, a large teaspoonful should be taken 
by an adult every half hour, commencing two hours before 
the expected attack, which will either interrupt it, or render 
the paroxysm less severe. 

While this medicine is being used, quiet is recommended 
as being necessary ; Hbodily or mental labor will retard, and 
may possibly prevent a cure. Avoid all exposure to sudden 
changes of the weather, unnecessary exercise, and let the diet 
be light, while laboring under an attack ; for without these 
precautions a cure cannot reasonably be expected. As a pre- 
ventive, this medicine should be used by convalescents, tra- 
velers, emigrants and others, during the summer and fall 
months, when malarious diseases are most prevalent. The 
dose and the frequency can be diminished one-third, which, 
with a due and proper care that the bowels should be regu- 
lated by occasional doses of Blue Pill, or other cathartic, no 
fear need be anticipated of an attack of those malarious dis- 
eases so prevalent throughout the Southwestern States. 

The bottle should always be corked, and its properties will 
remain unimpaired for any length of time in any climate. 

1ST. B. — Let the bottle be well shaken, in order that the 
preparation may be well combined, before it is administered. 

Orders for this preparation should be addressed to

The existence of so many cases of Rheumatism and unmanageable Dropsies in 
our section of the country, has been traced to the immoderate and injudicious use 
of Arsenic and Mercury in cases of Fever and Ague, as they can only check the 
symptoms, without removing the cause. It is not to be wondered at that these 
complaints continue amongst us so long as they are used. The affiicted will say, 
tell us, then, what shall we use in their stead? We reply, use Leonards South

drugs, and the disease will vanish like dew beiore the rising sun.— Memphis

them to make a trial of it, which interrupted >he paroxysms and prevented their

CERTIFICATES. 



The following Certificates of Feed's: L. Hertle and Heney Meiee, are among 
those peculiar cases in which a permanent cure can be effected, notwithstanding 
their continued exposure to predisposing causes. At the time the cures were 
perfected, they were engaged in the Chemical Works of Messrs. Chas. Pfizee & 
Co., of this city. 

After having been troubled with Fever and Ague for nearly a whole month, and 
swallowed lots of Quinine, an acquaintance of mine recommended me to try a bot- 
tle of what is called the South American Fever and Ague Remedy, and sure 
enough it worked like a charm. I took it only one day. and that was the last I 
saw of the fever. It is with right pleasure that I state this fact for the benefit of 
all whom it may concern, and wish everybody the same success in mastering this 
distressing disease, which is likely enough, if they will follow mv example. 

FRED'K L. HERTLE, 

August, 1855. 44 Whipple Street, Brooklyn. 

I have had the Fever and Ague for several weeks which kept me at home, una- 
ble to work. I tried a number of prescriptions, without finding any reUef, until 
my factory boss sent me a bottle of the South American Fever and Ague Remedy, 
which I have used, and after some days found myself entirely cured. I have had 
no attack since that time now fourteen months, and feel great confidence in this 
valuable medicine, to which I owe my recovprv.

(Extract from the Pee Dee Times. May 13.1857.) 
We would recommend to our readers who reside in those sections of the coun- 
try where the Fever and Ague prevails, or who contemplate visiting those sec- 
tions, to arm themseWe? with one or two bottles of Leonard's South American 
Fever and Ague Remedy, to be used as a preventive against an attack of the dis- 
ease, which is unequaled. It is as indispensable to the emigrant and traveler as 
the means of attack and defence would be to the hunter in exploring the wilds of 
this country. We refer you to his advertisement in another part of this paper. 

Mr. A. F. Steeling, late of the firm of A. Ross & Co., of this city, has consented 
to the publication of the following facts, over his signature, concerning a cure 
perfected by the use of this remedy which facts are corroborated by the Rev. L. 
M. Pease, who was acquainted with all the circumstances. 

Me. G-. A Leonaed — DeabPik: — Some ten days since, I heard of a poor but 
deserving German in Mulberry Street, who was suffering from a severe attack of 
chills and fever, contracted in the low grounds near Newark, N. J. I grave him 
one bottle of your South American Fever and Ague Remedy, and it affords me 
pleasure to say that the disease has been beoken tjp by its use, and a peema- 
nent cuee effected. Truly yours, 

N. Z, Nov. 5, 1857. A. F. STERLING-. 

I am acquainted with the facts set forth in the above certificate, and can witness 
to the truth of the statements therein contained. L. M. PEASE, 

Sup't of Five Points House of Industry. 

0. A. Leonaed. Esq. — Deae Sie: — Having suffered from severe attacks of Fever 
and Ague, I had nearly despaired of finding any relief, other than a temporary one. 
But while laboring under a severe attack, it was suggested to try your remedy, 
and, unlike other remedies I had used, it has proved a prompt and permanent 
cure, as I have never before gone so long without having a return of the com- 
plaint, and can recommend the S. A. Fever and Ague remedy, as a valuable one 
for the effectual cure of the disease. ROBT. F. PHILPIT,
